Probably some of the best tree skiing on earth. However, nearby Whistler and Kicking Horse have similar snow with much better alpine terrain. RMR also has poor "flow" due to the lack of lift infrastructure meaning there are a lot of long traverses that break up your runs. Not a beginner or family destination. The groomers are steep, poorly groomed, and often have poor snow since most of the groomed runs are at lower elevations that frequently get rained on.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a fantastic destination for hard-core skiers and snowboarders. Given that there is a limited number of green and blue runs, RMR is best suited for strong intermediates and better. Additionally, while on-hill infrastructure is immensely improved over the past 5 seasons, it's still skinny at best.
However, the terrain, snow and overall experience are world class. The 3 main lifts do an excellent job of accessing nearly all the available terrain, with only a short hike needed to access either the peak or North Bowl. Once on slope, everything is steep, fast and snowy.
Great place if you need a break from golf course type resorts!

This place is a great place to come if you are an intermediate to advanced skier or snowboarder!
Yes it has it's flaws, like:
Lack of variety for places to eat at the mountain.
No convenience store at the resort (you can find your basics at La Baguette).
No place to buy beer or liquor at the resort (but they do have a delivery service at one of the liquor stores in town).
If you want these things they are all available in town, which is easy to get to during the day with a free shuttle for hotel guest running from 7am to 6pm. If not they still have methods of you to reach town (5min drive) through the hotel. But please keep in mind, this resort is only 6 years old and still much more to be added!
Now what's so good about this place you ask?
1. The terrain. This place has so much to offer in-bounds for any established rider! If you are willing to "earn your turns" then this place is for you! There are so many areas in-bounds or not too far off in to the slack-country for you to chose the line of your dreams! There is a reason why pros flock to this area every year to ride terrain that is like non-other!
2. The lack of lift lines. The lines may be "big" in the a.m. on pow days, but still make your way up there and by 11am you'll find that you'll barely have to wait in line at all! It sure beats long lines all day at any other resort.
3. The snow!!! If you are lucky enough to be here during a dump, the snow is amazing. There is lots of it and nothing beats the champagne powder of the interior BC! The bonus is you can still find freshies 3-4 days after snowfalls!
4. The location (in comparison to the town). 5 min drive from downtown and other hotels spread out throughout the town.
5. If you have the money...Heli-Skiing. There is a reason this places is the best place in the world for heli-skiing! It's on my bucket list!
Come here! Experience this place! If this place lives up to it's potential, it'll be a worldwide destination in a few years. It's name can be just as big as Whistler!
Enjoy!

The runs are too short! The midweek lift lines are so long I waited at least 30 sec and the lift system is inadequate; 3 lifts for 3200 acres, rubbish. Seriously though, this place is great. A place the advanced rider can go and just enjoy life. Awesome tree runs, steep as you can bear and if you need something different heli and cat are a phone call away. Lift passes are cheap. I agree with previous reviewers that lower lever snow can get ordinary but there is more than enough terrain on the top half to compensate. Needs a good terrain park to make it world class, otherwise it was great.

I arrived midweek during a heavy snow fall warning with freezing levels to valley bottom. It was really bad. There was nobody there so I was forced to ride up and down all day without stopping. The snow was really deep and light and I kept getting it in my mouth which was kind of disgusting. The terrain was really steep with all these spaced trees, pillowy things, rollers and step downs which made my skis come off the snow all the time. And it was so high I could barely get down on my last run even though I could see almost 5000 ft. straight down to the bottom. It just looked so far away. Oh and one final thing... the beer at the end of the day was too cold and it gave me an ice cream cone headache. I just don't think you should go there because its no fun and you might get exhausted.

I’m headed to the Stoke in the 3rd week of Feb 2013 for the first time.
I have skied many places around the world and have been told only good thing about the Stoke. This comment thread is the first place I have heard negative comments.
Oh well, I will report back soon with my own thoughts but something tells me I will be ripping sick lines soon.

Please dislike this mountain, please piss and moan about the facilities, please ski elsewhere.
Unless skiing is your main goal and you are an advanced skier, Revy is not for you. They are working on being family friendly but aren't quite there yet.
If you like consistent snow, steep lines and don't mind a bootpack or skin. Revy is for you. It is definitely great to me.

Here we have a new season, with new policies and more greedy management. In past seasons, they have extended reciprocal discounts to season pass holders from other ski areas. Even during black out dates, they have offered the discount. I have the dated tickets to prove it. But now this season, no more, they have to make more money over Christmas. Having a policy that changes from year to year, or staff member to another, is not right. Opting to enforce a witten policy when they feel like it is bad business. As the staff member advised yesterday, 'we need to make more money over christmas season'. What an answer. Further showing poor trained staff and duty managers.
I will no longer ski here. Nor will my family. We will drive to other area ski resorts nearby. A total shame. What they don't understand is that for what we saved via a minor discount, was still spent further in other departments, like food and beverage etc. They would not 'loose' money. What, in fact, this now shows is a greed and attitude of take it or leave it. Well, we have left it!
